BETWEEN LOVE & OTRAS CHINGADERAS
… is a collection of prose, poems and short stories. The product of the past five years—from the green mountains of Chiapas, Mexico to the dusty streets of (Tabarre) Port-Au-Prince and the irreverence that the Spirit of God has planted in his heart—put into the limits of words. Love, just as the iconic Mexican word, chigadera, is versatile, creative, life giving. The life that emanates out of love makes you radically unapologetic, irrational as to the healing power that it brings. Hence, the binary of life is undomesticated love, tenderness in private and justice in the public realm.

BASTARD CHILD, I AM!<br />
Unwanted!<br />
My girded loins keeping fear from spewing.<br />
Dishonored!<br />
Insults covered with smiles.<br />
Forgotten!<br />
No history that follows or makes you.<br />
You, rejected, inarticulate, rough,<br />
Unmannered, unattractive, talentless,<br />
Our little bastard child.<br />
I am!<br />
Your shameful past, I am!<br />
Your darkest secret, I am<br />
Your untamed beast, I am!<br />
Your search history, I am:<br />
Spotify, Xhamster, WorldStarr,<br />
Figth Compilations,<br />
Do it for the Vine!<br />
How bou’ da!<br />
Rape!<br />
Fellujha, sodomized!<br />
Twenty minutes of action,<br />
Said the father’s rapist!<br />
From Stanford to the military barracks.<br />
Set this Motherfucker ablaze,<br />
Dishonorably discharged!<br />
The drones, the drones,<br />
The new killing act!<br />
I am, I am, scream and shout!<br />
I am, your little bastard grown-up Child.<br />
I am! I’ve returned your chickens,<br />
Emmit, Emmit, Rondney, Rodney,<br />
Barbed wired, badges, blue-fear, rage,<br />
Roost, the chickens arrived.<br />
Naked I danced, in Downtown Dallas.<br />
In the corner store in Batton Rouge,<br />
A broken Minnesotan Tail Light,<br />
The show must go on,<br />
No more strange fruit of lynching trees,<br />
But failed body cameras,<br />
Guns pointing and Facebook live streaming.<br />
Oh my God! Oh, my God!<br />
Those where shots!<br />
My magnificent Opus:<br />
Accident!<br />
The blacks must deal with their crimes!<br />
Accident!<br />
Two shots in the front and several in his back.<br />
They acted according to the law!<br />
Hide the facts, the campaign must go on!<br />
More training, our new mantra!<br />
At the memorial “Doubleya” danced!<br />
Police culture must change!<br />
No pops, no moms, the rap,<br />
The drugs,<br />
Broken windows and lonely hearts!<br />
Resisting Arrest?<br />
Pigs on blanket, they fry!<br />
A prior record, he had?<br />
No angel he was!<br />
If she would of only cooperate with the cops.<br />
Yes sir, no sir! Fuck that!<br />
My pride is all I got!<br />
Not free to have a bad day.<br />
When not having-it cost her life.<br />
Say her name and shout!
